Oxford are NOT correct. You will be able to use the information within
them, but you may NOT copy and paste them for a works cite page. See the
examples below for correct format.

If a human beings name has an “Ed” in front of it, then it’s the
editor. If there is no “Ed”, then the human is the author.This name usually comes right after the
title of the book in the citation.

author but it has editors:

"Romeo and Juliet." The Concise Oxford Companion to English
